Description
The purpose of this study is to present how INVALSI has applied Participatory Action Research (PAR) to School Self-Evaluation (SSE) in the Provincial Centers for Adult Education; as well as to examine the policies adopted to enhance SSE in Italian school system as contextualized in the international debate.
CPIAs (the Italian acronym of Provincial Centers for Adult Education) are state schools established by the Ministry of Education in 2014. These institutions offer adult education services and activities to promote personal, cultural, social, and economic growth. In addition, CPIAs deal with both educational and research activities regarding adult education. They work as a network of local services focused on lifelong learning, offering first level education courses, Italian language courses, second level education courses and other courses. The courses are attended by adults and young people over the age of 16 who have not completed the first cycle of education or by people who wish to improve their education.
